Join us on Wednesday 25th November for our final Ashby Connect of 2026!

We'd love for you to join us for a festive lunchtime gathering as we look back on another fantastic year for our local business community.

Designed for businesses of all sizes across Leicestershire, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire - whether you are a freelancer, start-up, or established SME - Ashby Connect is a relaxed, welcoming space to meet local professionals, build genuine relationships, and grow your network without the pressure of formal pitching.

Spotlight Session: Cyber Incidents & Insurance

To help us round off 2026 in style, we are delighted to welcome Misty Taylor, Managing Director at Fairview Broking Limited, as our headline event sponsor.

Protecting what you've built shouldn't feel complicated. As an independent brokerage, Fairview Broking provides tailored, jargon-free guidance to help business owners safeguard their people, property, operations, and livelihoods across a wide panel of leading insurers.

During the event, Misty will deliver an essential spotlight presentation on one of the fastest-growing operational risks facing modern businesses: Cyber Incidents & Insurance.

Key takeaways will include:

• Why small-to-midsize businesses are prime targets for phishing, ransomware, and invoice fraud
• Where standard commercial policies fall short when handling digital assets and cloud disruptions
• What cyber insurance actually covers: data recovery, forensic investigations, business interruption, legal costs, and customer notifications
• Practical steps to assess your readiness and strengthen your digital resilience today

(Plus, keep an eye out for a special festive appearance from Santa Claus himself - kindly arranged by the members our local Rotary Club in Ashby-de-la-Zouch!)
